The jiva succumbs to its karmas and tolerates pain and miseries, but does not tolerate them for its moksha. And if stung by a scorpion, it will stay awake all night.1 There are many such instances. Footnotes: 1. 1. A sadhu was asked by Gunatitanand Swami to do a particular task. He refused since he did not want to stay up till late. But the sadhu was stung by a scorpion and could not sleep due to the pain, so he had to stay awake all night.
